Three stars only for the food. Good service for a small place and nice clean area. Food was at par with instant noodles. Not bad but probably won’t go back for the taste. Nice people. For a quick bite when you have nothing else to eat I recommend it, but for a true Japanese ramen taste this wasn’t it.

this place was just ok. you order at the counter via a digital kiosk. the odd part it the location selection. the tables are numbered versus you pickling up random 'tent' number to enter in and since you can really only see the front table numbers I guess that's what you pick. I like black garlic and you have to add that as a comme.t, add black garlic cause it's not a selectable menu option. broth was a little salty and meh. our was supposed to come polish green onion..... no green onion. not likely a second trip.

Toribashi Japanese Restaurant has a fantastic atmosphere that really sets the mood for an enjoyable dining experience. The decor is stylish, and the ambiance is warm and inviting, making it a great spot to sit down and enjoy a meal.
The food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the Tonkatsu Ramen and Chicken Karaage, and both dishes were outstanding. The ramen had a rich, flavorful broth with perfectly cooked noodles and tender, crispy pork. The Chicken Karaage was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned just right.
However, the service was a bit slow. It took longer than expected to receive my order, and they forgot to bring my drink with my meal, which was disappointing. I had to remind the server, and while they did correct it, the delay took away from the experience.
Overall, the food and atmosphere make Toribashi worth visiting, but the service could use some improvement. I’d definitely come back, hoping for a smoother experience next time. 4 stars.

If you don't know what Ramen is, you may think this is good, but if you've ever had good ramen, this will seem like flavoured water. Barely any taste in the broth, ingredients, or sides.
Spending 20 USD per person or more for below mediocre ramen should not warrant a 4.3 (at the time of writing) rating.
Cannot recommend.
Wheelchair accessibility: Easy ramp from entrance inside. Enough space to move around. No designated spot for wheelchairs, no help from staff finding a location. Tables high enough to fit a standard sized manual wheelchair.

An okay ramen spot. First of all, they forgot my order and I had to wait 20 minutes for it. We ordered the Tonkotsu and Miso and they tasted a bit bland. The egg was a bit over cooked. It just tasted very watered down. I could not finish it. As someone who has had ramen all over Japan, I would say this place is definitely not authentic and rate it a 5 or 6 out of 10. For an almost $20 ramen bowl, there are better places out there.

Not a single bite of the food was eaten with passion and vigor. My ramen was a 3/10. There were 4 of us. Here's what we said: "Food was bad. Broth was akin to water." -regular shio ramen. For a dish named salt ramen, they seemed to have forgotten the salt. "There was flavor here and there" -chicken noodles bowl "Strictly below mediocre"-me, with regular tonkotsu. Broth had very little flavor. "Not bad, but probably because I'm hungry"-spicing tonkotsu. Spicy covers everything up.
If you're local, maybe it's not bad. Out of town tourists should probably stay away from their noodle dishes.

Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen was lukewarm at best. The waiter said he would warm it up. That’s a shame for a $20 bowl of ramen. Also, the take is nonexistent. I’d recommend saving you ramen kick for another place.

A popular spot, so we had to twiddle our thumbs for about 20-30 minutes before placing our order. Heads up—only cards are welcome here! I went for the spicy ramen, and while the broth had some kick, the brother (meat) was a tad overdone. The spice level was there, but not quite the fiery adventure I was expecting—maybe it’s dialed down to cater to more sensitive palates? Egg was the star of the show. All in all, it was a decent experience, but I’m not sure I’d rush back for another round.
Disgraceful! They serve INSTANT noodles under the guise of a respectable ramen restaurant. The menu is full of LIES. Shame on the owners. Horribly disappointed. Least they could do is buy raw noodles and real soup packs from a restaurant supplier and make decent ramen, but they don't. They insult you by charging $14 for a pack of instant noodles you can get at the supermarket. Don't be fooled by Toribashi's shameless scam.
The tonkotsu is not pork, the miso is not miso. They are lying about what they put in your body. Outrageous!

Horrible place. 0 out of 5 if I could. -1 even. As I walked to this place expecting some good ramen and ordered some at their electronic check out. When the ramen came a few minutes later, it looked not too bad. Wrong. The ratio of noodles to the actual broth/soup was terribly wrong. There were way too much noodles and they were utterly disgusting. When I tried the soup, the urge to spit it out immediately came to mind. Tofu was supposed to come in my ramen but they never added it. The whole bok choy was in there, uncut. The soup was very watery. It was inedible. Disgusted, I couldn't bring myself to even finish the noodles. It was horrible. I needed to wash my mouth down with a coke. Never going there again. 17 bucks for this terrible ramen. Hell to the no. Scathing experience that has left a scar on my taste buds.

Our broths were mediocre in flavor, instant soup has more flavor.
Waiter provides good service.
But the Owner was rude and made this last experience there very uncomfortable

Got miso and tonkotsu ramen. Been trying out ramens everywhere we go even out of state and country. Both broth were bland. Meat was dry. Not a single Japanese staff seen. Karaage was good otherwise.
